lpv:translated text	"Businesses in the aquaculture sector, following the rapid development of the sector in indigenous species of fish and shellfish, want to get into the cultivation of non-indigenous species. The proposal for a regulation makes provision for certain safety procedures because there is a clear danger of disrupting the natural biodiversity in an area once non-indigenous species have been introduced and released. Nonetheless, there can be no full safeguard, especially as the data needed have been requested from the interested parties, as was the case with GMOs. Historically, of course, for species such as carp, trout and so on, there proved to be no repercussions in the areas in which they were released. Nonetheless, there is no guarantee that this historic precedent will be repeated, whatever the efforts and safety valves. On the other hand, the facility to import such organisms and the possible economic benefits which will accrue can be counterbalanced by fishing and/or cultivating them in countries where they constitute natural populations – in other words, with no danger to natural ecosystems. This would also allow these countries to develop, for the benefit of their peoples too, in direct disproportion to any economic results there would be in the Member States of the EU. In other words, the business interests would win, but [not] at the expense of the peoples in the countries of origin of the non-indigenous species."@en1
